Based on a proprietary Arm-compatible architecture, Vera follows the Grace chip, mainly employed to complement Hopper and Blackwell GPUs. The benefits of a RISC architecture and licensing options are advantageous in the AI era. Enterprises may prefer x86, but cloud companies have adopted Arm and the architecture has the CPU lead in large-scale AI clusters.
